ANNOUNCEMENT!!: The next version will be delayed as I have run into a strange glitch. All data in the project is breaking! Variables lose their value and become worthless. Broadcasts don't register and the sprites aren't even showing up on the screen because the variables are all messed up!
I am trying my best to fix the glitch but I am fighting a losing battle. Anyone have tips?

EDIT: I'm a SCRATCHER!!          I can edit posts now! And post links! AND have a signature!!! 

That sounds scary!   
I don't know what to do, you may need to delete it and make a new version.

Congrats!

I usually don't encounter bugs or glitches with the scratch program so you should search in the bugs and glitches forum to see if you can find your solution to fix it there

is your text disappearing?

and I'm returning home tomorrow so I should have a song ready soon but I also have homework and then school so I'll see when I can get it done

you shouldn't be in a rush, right? because you want to add it after 2.0?
so if you want to make it faster just give me a list of the songs we need with as much detail as possible (or none if it doesn't matter)

also include the length of the songs

is a 30-60 second loop good?, with a several second intro?

I have some more ideas for the game if you guys are willing to accept them. So maybe we can have quests that earn money when you complete them. We will also have an experience bar.
I'm thinking we should change up the game a bit by changing the character. Instead of a wizards suit, he should have a hero's suit. Maybe you can choose your color as a slight character customization feature.
Anyway, I'm resetting the version I was working on and re-adding the inventory.

Update on sprites! There is a new sword sprite and the character's and the guard's costumes have been changed!

all non-programmers should be beta-testers, right?

Sure! If you'd like, you can check out the most recent version and then report glitches. Thanks!

So, I was thinking that a really useful thing to have is a teleporting spell. That way, you can travel to places you've visited without having to run all the way back!

We will have portals in locations so when you touch the portal it activates and you can travel from portal to portal.

The current version was just reviewed by iaoumeur! It got a really high rating! I thank you all for joining this collab and helping out! We're doing really good!

ANNOUNCEMENT: I'd been on Scratch a while before I created an account. I came up with the idea for Pixainia and decided to make an account and start a collab. I named the account after the game name.
Now I think the game should not be called Pixainia~The Lost Scrolls, because you guys have been helping so much I don't think the name should be my username. I think The Lost Scrolls is a fine name and I also think we should change it.
Who votes we should change the name?

Can I do music and ideas?

Sure! I'll add you to the members list. Can you make some happy sounding music for the grassy places?

I'll see what I can do!

Music you asked for.

It's good but when you do music that means you are an composer. kayybee is the other composer and he creates the songs. We might have some borrowed music but we are mostly composing our own. Plus mario music doesn't really fit the theme of the game. Perhaps you should play the current version of the game before you start making music so you can get a feel of what the music should be.
If you are not experienced with composing and joined the music group as a misunderstanding, then you are welcome to leave the music group and stay in ideas. If you are good at composing then you can stay in music and start making songs.
Thanks! ~Pixainia.

Could I be a tester, (what do you do as a tester?) I like looking at projects and suggesting improvements.

A tester just looks at the newest version of the game and reports glitches. Sure you can be one!

I think the name is fine, but if you want to change it, The Lost Scrolls sounds good too.
Should I do the grassy music?
Egyptian sounding music is hard when you're not an Egyptian 

I got several lines though.

And should the grass be peaceful or adventurous? Or both?
